El Catrin

There's a place I have to tell you about.

But there's a catch: It's not in Dubai. It's not even in the UAE. In fact, it's not even on our continent, or the one next to it.

It's in Canada. Toronto, to be more specific.

But it's so great, and the ties between Dubai and Toronto as so strong that I feel that I have to share my experience. So if ever you have to make a stop in Toronto, do pay this place a visit.

I'm talking about the Mexican restaurant El Catrin, which is located in the beautiful, historic Distillery District. I will not say much except that the decor is gorgeous, the service is friendly and helpful, the drinks are delicious and above all, the food is fresh, flavourful, vibrant, and extremely appetising. Enjoy!



Traditional margharita
Fresh guacamole made at the table with crispy, salty nachos
Two types of tacos
Beef taco (special of that day) - also the favourite
Lamb taco (barbacoa) - explosion of flavour with the pineapple
Chicken burrito
Scallop ceviche, also a special on that day
Tres Leches cake - yum yum yum! Light, fluffy, not too sweet with the perfect amount of crunch
Ole Mole - brownie with some lovely ice-cream and a bit of crunch to go with it all
